INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
- The history of the development of the Science of Acoustics also reflects the
development of natural sciences, economics and human society. We can marvel
at the wonders of the Ancient World and the Middle Ages with pleasure, and
these masterpieces of art can still be used today either in their original
condition or after reconstruction. But with the development of modern
science in the 18th century, industrialisation, urbanisation, and the demand
for mobility brought numerous challenges and tasks to solve regarding
acoustics.
- The acoustic quality of the human environment became an acknowledged
environmental and human factor, as well as an aspect with economic
influence;
- Throughout this period, acoustics have developed direct and growing
connections with the fields of engineering as well as the natural and social
sciences, the centre of which has always been the quality of human
life;
- The demand for good quality communication signals and clear
transmission of acoustic information became common;
- The conscious preservation of the acoustic quality of our
environment demands global solutions, not only because of the effects, but
also because of the global growth of human habits and noise sources.
- The organisers of the FORUM ACUSTICUM 2005 International Conference want to
establish the best possible conditions for the presentation of a wide range
of problems and results within this complex process. More than 40 structured
sessions in various fields of acoustics will be organised. The Technical
Committees of EAA will hold open discussion meetings and offer platforms for
co-operation.
- We welcome you, our colleagues and friends working in the different fields
of acoustics, to the FORUM ACUSTICUM 2005 Congress in Hungary with great
pleasure and honour.
- You are invited to present your results, new methods, products, and
procedures; discuss important, conceptual conclusions; and in the meantime,
enjoy the abundant opportunities that are offered by the rich cultural life,
architectural and historical treasures; as well as the recreational, folk
art, and culinary opportunities available to all of our guests in the city
of Budapest.
Yours faithfully,
- Frigyes Reis, General Chairman of FORUM ACUSTICUM 2005
- Michael Vorländer, President of EAA
